hope i did'nt piss anyone off, most of the time i was experimenting with various types of turret farming with the new deployables, usually about tricking the capper into running into something painful on thier exit path and playing light Defense with my (very accurate) laser rifle, never o-sniped or anything <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.hosting-hub.com/filedeposit/ ... 04/sig.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

The group may have been smaller, but the was was as big as ever. Hopefully nextime, more people can burn some vacation and get down to the LAN. Start saving your pennies! I know we have close to 100 or so people that frequent these boards at some point or another over the course of the week, and I'd love to see 2 rooms full of guys playing T:V or BE1942 or even something totally different, who knows what'll be out in the next year that's multiplayer LAN worthy. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><br>HUGE Thanks goes to Iceman and Gambit, and ITIman for taking the bull by the horns and organizing and planning, and pulling off such a great event again and again.

we never actually had the most modded case contest judging, they were all pretty good, heh, most lan parties are packed with manufactured machines, there was only like 1 dell there, the rest were all custom<br><br>and we all got a bit of mod with the bawls stickers <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.hosting-hub.com/filedeposit/ ... 04/sig.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

I'm glad we didn't have a judging. Better, I think, to just be able to show them off and have your peers ooh and aah.<br><br>But I appreciate the comment, Dru. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Personally, I really liked Iceman's meteor light and the Trek case. And Ferret's UV paint was a nice touch! <p></p><i></i>

Yeah, everyone had their own mods to their cases and there were several that were all along the same "cooless" in my eyes, so it's probably for the best. I should have gone over to Fry's again, to get some lights, but I guess I'll have to order them online. I saw some there that gave me some ideas, and that's one of the best LAN aftereffects I think, giving Ideas for cases. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Never, Never, Never Quit"</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> -Winston Churchill</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

I had an awesome time! Thanks to everyone there for the great time and thanks especially to our hardworking hosts. There just aren't thanks enough to equal how good a time we had this weekend. I hope we can wear you out again next year.<br><br>BTW, anyone want to host a few pics for me? I haven't put them on the pc yet but if someone tells me how they want them, I'll get right on it. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.zoohoot.com/media/images/tribes/ravin.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br></p><i></i>
